There was considerable activity among
buyers who were looking at a good deal of
grain, but objected quite strongly to paying
the advance asked by sellers. Receipts for
the two days were go cars, and sample
tables were well covered with wheat Local
millers were picking up large proportion of
the best milling wheat, and orders from out
side parties were being filled quite freely
Local stocks decreased during the past week
4,lS9 bu, but an increase of II 200 at St
Paul more than wiped it out. Duluth shows
an increase of 1000. The general visible
supply of wheat decreased 90S, 900 bu Du-

Flour--There is firm feeling in the flour
market but the question is raised as to
whether the local millers have adhered
strictly to the advance of last week. 1t is
claimed by some that others have not and
that flour has been quoted outside at the
old figures. The stock is moving out to do
mestic markets very freely but the foreign
demand is not of a character that meets ask
ing prices here. Bids were received here
Saturday 10c under the quotations to go to
Liverpool. The inquiry, it is claimed, is i'm
proving however and it is expected that
prices will reach the figures here by the time
domestic trade fails to take it all. There is
some exporting but mainly on old contracts.
Bran and ShOrts-Bran was quoted today
at S9.75@1O.2 .25: shorts at about 81 more
than bran. The demand holds out well with
prospects good for its continuance.
Corn-The few lots offering go out at 800
3912c by sample car lots on track.
Oats-There is a steady demand for good
clean stock for both local consumption and
to ship. Dirty grain is neglected even when
the kernel may be superior to clean lots
taken, Some shippers send in too much wild
seed No
white brings about 2612c, common 26 The
range of samples is from 23@26I2, though
some badly damaged went below these
figures.
Barley-Sales at 3O@55c according to
quality of sample sold by.
Mixed Feed-The few ears arriving are
held at S14.50@15 on track with sales deliy-
cred at S15. .25@15.5O.
Hay-Moyes fairly well at S909.5O for
good to choice wild. The market has been
fairly supplied lately but buyers and sellers
seem to have confidence in it at about these
prices. Timothy nominal at about 81 above
wild.
BUDLs AND BEARS
The great change in the relations of this
market and Duluth that one short year shows
is quite surprising. Here are the figures cop
led from a private circular of A. X. Shepard
d Co., spring wheat: The crop movement
at Duluth in 1867, 1,1s4,671 bu; in 1856,
1880, ,692 bu: at Minneapolis 1867. $780,
$50 bu; in 1856, 3,036, ESQ bu. This all
goes to prove the well known fact that this is
the great primary wheat market of the world,
and Duluth, Chicago and Milwaukee have ali
to allow this.
George Shepard, talking of Ed Sanderson,
OF Milwaukee who, by the way, is credited
with being millionaire, says he remembers
years ago when Ed used to set type on an AL
bany. n. Y, paper, and was a first rate"typo'
at that But he got the Western fever, and
better STILL was one of the lucky boys. Mr.
Sanderson was in the city last week, return
ing to the Cream City Saturday night
The floor had quite Lively appearance
and local trading was very active, however
the decrease in visible supply may affect
other points, Minneapolis cannot complain
OF a lack OF wheat, as over 600 car loads of
the cereal rolled in here during Saturday and
Sunday.
About the most prominent and wealthy
miller in the city, whose initials have close
affinity to headgear, was overheard to re-
mark he did not believe Duluth would take
wheat half enough in amount to fill her ele-
vators this year even if her export trade was
brisk.
Lindblom said in dispatch: 81 look for
half million decrease" and to show the va
will make in this intricate business a dis
patch from Duluth put the figures at over a
million decrease.
Visable supply wheat decreased SOC, 600
bu. last week, corresponding week last
year it increased over 2.000,000. Visible
supply is now 20,00O,00O less than last year
a9the same time.
The principal subject of discussion on the
floor yesterday was the visible supply and
the abnormal condition of the market at
present can be seen by looking back to this
time last year.
Fred and Charles A. Pillsbury were both on
the hoor Tor long time this morning, and
